If I recall correctly, Fall of Reach mentions them being jump jets. Harriers aren't the only planes capable of V/STOL take off/landing. Even today, we have the F35 JSF and the XF32 (which was better, but didn't get the liscense due to a grudge the Air Force had against the company).

Anyone explored the possibility of these being the same aircraft? I'll email Nylund, though I doubt he knows, lacking a Halo Story Bible (Ensemble Studios would know more).

:No, I seriously doubt it, because the Skyhawk is supposedly capable of supersonic flight, which I seriously doubt the ducted-fans of the Sparrowhawk can pull off, being sort of an advanced assault helicopter decendant. The Skyhawk is also the name for a real vehicle (the A-4 Skyhawk jet) which further suggests this is a jet aircraft. [[User:Murder of Crows|Murder of Crows]]

:sorry, whoever you are, but it isn't.

Some Halopedians have concluded that the ship that attacks John in the comic is not the proper depiction of a SkyHawk but instead of a [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]. However, I disagree with that because in the issue the fighter lacks the "Tail" of a Sparrowhawk and the tips of the wings are actually bent backwards and NOT forward as we would see on Sparrowhawk.

:You won't be able to see the tail of a Sparrowhawk from such angle as the tail is swept down and not up. And the shadowing of the tips of the wings are stylised in such way that they are bent forward.

That wasn't a very good pic. I'll upload a different one. [[User talk:Forgotten Helljumper|Forgotten Helljumper]] 17:31, 28 July 2012 (EDT)

==50mm?==
I'm pretty sure 50mm was a typo and the author meant to write 50 caliber. The [http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab60/Rama88_photo/50mm_zps02fe6d21.jpg showings] in TFoR are far closer to a .50 caliber machinegun than a 50mm autocannon( for reference, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy9VPTWyLh0 this] is a real life 20mm autocannon.
